Big Game fundraiser to support Maryville Feb. 8

Valley Lodge Tavern will host a Big Game Watch Party on Sunday, Feb. 8, at its Wilmette location, with proceeds benefiting Maryville Academy and its programs serving children and families.

The family-friendly event will begin at 4 p.m. and will include appetizers, a dinner buffet and dessert. Guests will gather to watch the game while supporting Maryville’s mission to protect children and strengthen families.

The fundraiser will also feature raffles, squares, strip cards and a silent auction. Tickets are $50 per person, and children 10 and under may attend at no cost. Space is limited.

Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/3YgkhFj.

“Community partnerships like this make a meaningful difference for the children and families we serve,” said Megan Biasco, Maryville’s director of development. “We are grateful to Valley Lodge Tavern for hosting this event and for their continued support of Maryville’s mission.”

Proceeds from the watch party will benefit Maryville Academy, a nonprofit organization founded in 1883 that provides education, mental health care and family support services throughout the Chicago area. Maryville serves children and families through a continuum of care that includes therapeutic schools, residential programs and community-based services.

Valley Lodge Tavern is hosting the event as part of its ongoing support of local nonprofit organizations. Community members are encouraged to attend with family and friends to enjoy the game while giving back.

Valley Lodge Tavern is at 1141 Central Ave., Wilmette.
